34 Years Old, 2 Kids I Breastfed, 13 Years Saline Under Muscle Removed, No Lift - Irvine, CA

ORIGINAL POST

Hello friends, I have been reviewing this site for...

WORTH IT$4,500
Hello friends, I have been reviewing this site for awhile and feel obligated to share my experience to help others...

I am 34 years old, have 2 kids I nursed combined total for 2 1/2 years, I am 5'4, 103 pounds (naturally always been skinny), and got breast implants 13 years ago, 330 cc saline under the muscle. I have changed a lot since age 20 and enjoy living a healthy lifestyle foremost, and so the journey to remove the implants.

Doctor Altman has been amazing, I recommend him greatly in Irvine. Surgery was 4/19 and I opted to get them removed under local with twilight sedation. (Basically I slept through the surgery). I am not 3 Days post op and feeling great. I never filled my prescription and survived on 2 extra strength tylenols. Seeing my deflated breasts have been difficult, I will not lie. Especially I feel saddened that my husband who never knew me pre implants was shocked at how small chested I actually him. I can see improvement everyday, I have been rubbing coconut oil and aloe vera lotion on them. I hope I can improve a lot more, forgetting about how natural breasts are supposed to look I am worried mine look saggy. Stitches come out 4/25. When I bend down my chest looks horrible too, hoping this improves with time. I actually feel more youthful with them out and in a different way sexy. I have more nipple sensation than when I had implants in. Having my side of body and armpits not occupied by boob is really nice too. Still wearing the bra the doctor provided, but did step into victoria secret today and I am a 32a. hehe, I will rock that bra. ;)

Before and after pictures? After having 3rd kid which was post BA my breasts grew to a 34H; now a 34 dad/e but one is shaggy and I feel too big. After nursing my middle one I was a 32AA, I'm nervous to go back to that but with shaggy skin. :/

Your story is uplifting (ha, no pun was intended!) and I want us all to be encouraged and to encourage others. I am now 70, had saline implants for 43 years since age 28, one ruptured during February mammogram, had them explanted May 3rd. I have wanted smaller breasts for years, and I am so excited to experience these beautiful smaller, natural breasts. Still early to tell, but I think I am about size 36A now, was 38D. One nipple is inverted/dimpled inward, and I have been told I may need to have that surgically repaired with just a local anesthetic after a 3-month wait to see how they settle. I am personally touched and inspired by your pictures and your comments that you've posted. Thank you for sharing your story! We are warriors!

Hi Katherine, thank you for your nice words, I agree we are all warriors! Congrats to you on explanting, it's so wonderful how light up top not having an implant is. May 3rd not that long ago so hopefully your nipple will fix itself! I know for me everyday I see skin improvements. I was obsessing over my breast for the first couple of weeks and now think about them a whole lot less. Just feels like back to the old me. All the best to you!!! Xx

It's great to hear back from you, thank you! Yes, I'm loving that feeling of being so light up top without the implants. It's a very freeing feeling. Glad you're feeling like the old you, but mine were done so long ago it's hard to remember the old me :) Maybe a couple of trips to Victoria Secret will help that process, and I too will rock that little bra! Feel like we're all on an adventure, and so glad to have you to communicate with. Will post updates as things change, still having breast pain and looking forward to that ending soon. All the best back to you!! xoxo

You look awesome!!! I'm so thankful for everyone's explant journeys being shared on this website. I joined because I wanted a breast augmentation but I have seen so many explant stories I'm really reconsidering.

Definitely wish I never did this to my body cause now the stress from recovering not worth it. I never had health complications from having the implants, but so many woman do. I feel so cozy without anything fake in my chest. Best wishes to you !

Hi!! Thank you so much for your post. I'm in practically the same boat as you except I haven't explanted yet. Did you have the enbloc type removal? Thank you again for sharing and congratulations on being a truly "natural" beauty now!!

I did not have an enbloc, mine were saline and had not leaked and no capsular contractors. If that helps? Do you have an explant date ? I am very happy with removing them, but that first month was roller coaster cause hard for me to be patient during recovery. Best wishes to you !!!

Thank you. I waited a year after nursing, though probably shouldn't make much of a difference.

Bra shopping...

Went to Victoria secret last night and totally accept and love my small boobs. My skin is looking better but I still have way too much. In a bra, it is all squished together and just looks horrible. Feeling a little depressed and hoping in time this will continue to shrink. I don't miss my large chest, though I feel my husband does. :( He says he loves me regardless and trying so hard to say the right things, but I am struggling with feeling I am still sexy to him. It's been a week, hopefully my emotional roller coaster improves in time...

Honestly, I think they are already far more feminine and pretty than before. I'm sure it's early days for all the skin improvements...!
